Made the decision yesterday, eff it, it's time! Decided it's time to cut back working to three days a week, so today was my first retirement day off. Got in after lunch yesterday and finished fixing a zero turn mower for a fellow. This morning he came and picked it up, and I made $100 for repairing it. Hooked up the trailer that still had the FBird parts car I bought last year on it to the pickup and threw a bunch or scrap metal in it. Took it to the scrapyard this morning, got $241 for my trouble. Promptly went to Harbor Freight and bought a 3 1/2 cubic foot cement mixer for $250. Got to pour a floor for a storage building and later on pour the new carport floor a section at a time.
Drained the gas tank on the IH tractor, changed the oil, and used it to skid off some old timbers from my old building that fell in several years ago. New 10 x14 building going in about that same spot when get it cleared again.
Cleared about $90 today. Would be nice if I could do that every day! Know it'll never happen, because I don't have that much scrap to haul off.
Was nice getting to sleep to 7:00. And still have tomorrow to do stuff, but it's supposed to be raining, so if it's not lightning, I'll stay in the shop. Nice to take my time doing stuff instead of having to rush and keep at it until I'm exhausted. Will probably go load on Monday for Tuesday delivery. I'm gonna like have 3 1/2 days off and working 3 1/2!
